The 8 Essential Glyconutrient Saccharides and What They Do

Glyconutrient saccharides make up what is called a glycoprotein that is also attached to lipids or fats. They cover the cells with a membrane allowing communication between the cells. Imagine these cells as infantry men going out to fight a war. If the monosaccharide chains making up the membrane are not complete in these cells, they cannot communicate with the rear of this army and could loose the war if attacked from behind. Much like being attacked by virus's, bacteria, or yeast infections.


Some of The Functions of Each Individual Glyconutrient Saccharide in The Body

The Glucose glyconutrient saccharide is the energy source for the nerve, red blood cells, and the kidneys. To much glucose can cause diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, obesity, elevated triglycerides, etc. Science has confirmed that to much glucose competes with all the other monosaccharides in the body. With our modern diets we get way to much of this in the form of sugar, pastas, and processed junk food. Is it any wonder that so many of us are so sick? Get the sugar out of your lives folks, and that includes your children if you have them.

The Galactose glyconutrient saccharide works by releasing substances that eat bad bacteria and cellular wastes. They also stimulate NK cells and inhibit cancer cell reproduction. Numerous scientific publications have discovered that the absense of galactose is related to the onset of rheumatoid arthritis. It also promotes healthy calcium metabolism and its absorption preventing osteoporosis. It assists in keeping the good bacteria in the body healthy. Galactose can be found in milk by products and hopefully you have the lactase enzyme so you can digest these foods.

The Mannose glyconutrient saccharide activates the function of the macrophages in the immune system. Macrophages are a type of white blood cell that attack, kill, and remove foreign invaders. They also remove waste that is caused by inflamation in the body. It also inhibits certain proinflammatory molecules that cause asthma, arthritis, lupus, etc. With cancer cells, mannose inhibits tumor growth and blocks communication between tumor cells. This prevents the spread of this disease and activates the natural action of NK cells to fight the disease. They defend the cells against bacteria by always arriving first and blocking the bacteria from damaging the cell. In diabetes it prevents the development of cataracts, and blocks urinary infections. It protects the diabetic from inflammation in the body caused by the disease. Mannose comes from aloe vera and cranberries, now you know why cranberry juice is good for urinary infections.

The Fucose glyconutrient saccharide intervenes as a modulator for the immune system especially in relation to allergies and inflammatory diseases. However, its scientifically proven main roll is to inhibit tumor growth. It is also important in the fight against bacteria that attack our respirartory system. Fucose is used up by the body in 24 hours after ingestion, so it must be ingested everyday to remain healthy.

The Xylose glyconutrient saccharide is very important in the process of intercellular communication and works as an enzyme in the immune and endocrine systems. It is also involved in molecule absorption and is involved in every cellular function in the body.


These glyconutrient saccharides below are actually bonded with an acid and are not in a sense "sweet"

The N-Acetylglucosamine glyconutrient saccharide has a well known beneficial effect against arthritis. It is part of the cartilage stucture and inhibits, prevents, and repairs the damage to the joints. It also inhibits the growth of cancerous cells as proven in scientific research. It has anti-viral properties and was found to effectively fight and prevent colds, influenza, and herpes.

The N-Acetylgalactosamine glyconutrient saccharide main roll is to help with the formation of hormones. This saccharide is also composed of hyalauronic acid and chondrotin sulfate, which form the structure of the connective tissue and cartilage in the skeletal structure. When this is in low supply, the collagen structure of the skin and joints fail. Wrinkles and degenerative skeletal disease soon follows.

The N-Acetylneuraminic acid or sialic acid glyconutrient saccharide plays a major role in mucuos secretions which allows for the correct lubricants in the body, and regulates where they need to be. It does this by making sure the mucous is the right consistancy for the defense of the body. Take for instance in the lungs; without the correct mucosal consistancy in the bronchial tubes, the lungs can dry up, allowing bacteria and fungi to easily infect the lung. If the levels of this saccharide drops, the incidence of diabetes, cancer, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, etc, increases. This saccharide is an inflammation regulator and controls and prevents inflammatory disease. It is also a biomarker that helps to control certain negative effects of our immune system. Take for instance allergies, when you are suffering from allergies your immune system is actually in a state of over activity from the lack of this saccharide. This also applies to psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis which can also be caused by an over active immune system. This glyconutrient saccharide also competes with bacteria and virus's at the molecular level, by blocking the pathogen from attaching to the cell, until the white blood cells and lymphocytes arrive and eat these invaders. After that happens the macrophages will clean up the mess. It also plays a roll in the regulation of the male and female reproductive hormones, and maintains the health of the nervous system.


The Many Benefits of Glyconutrient Saccharides

These glyconutrient saccharides have been scientifically proven too intervene in restoration and improvement of the immune system.
They will actually help the immune system repair any problems it may have wether it is overactive or underactive.
They have been found to have positive effects on asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus.
They improve the symptoms of peridontal disease, pain in cancer patients, and skin outbreaks also receive positive effects.
Glyconutrient saccharides inhibit bronchial allergies, contact dermititis, prevent arthritis, reducing pain and improving movement in those that already have arthritis.
They inhibit tumor growth, infections, and allow the healthy nourishment though the capillaries of all cells.
Glyconutrient saccharides protect against gastric ulcers, and regulate glucose in the blood thru the proper release of insulin.
They protect the body against developing cataracts, and protect against metabolic disease.
They improve circulation and help repair burns and other damaged tissues.
Glyconutrient saccharides protect and repair cells after intense exercise which causes a large cell die off in the body.
They also protect the body from oxidation and free radical damage.
They prohibit respiratory virus's and are anti-bacterial. Glyconutrient saccharides prevent diarrhea caused by microbial infection, and allergic reactions which is especially frequent in babies.
They improve iron absorption, vitamin absorption, and help wih the development of the brain.
Glyconutrient saccharides help prevent calcium deficiency and stimulate its absorption helping prevent osteoporosis.
Glyconutient saccharides maintain the healthy function of the digestive tract, keep the good bacteria healthy.
They improve memory and help prevent alzheimers disease.
They help reduce the withdrawal effects of drug addicts wether it be alcohol, smoking, or any other drug.
Glyconutrient saccharides regulate the nerve function and help chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and add or adhd.
They improve the symptoms of muscular dystrophy and dyslexia no matter what the age.
These monosaccharides are absolutely necessary for the function of the endocrine system. There is more, but I think you get the idea that these glyconutrient saccharides are absolutely essential for every function in the body.
I think you can now see just how important these glyconutrient saccharides are for the health of the human body. They are more important than vitamins and minerals, without them, vitamins and minerals cannot be absorbed by the cells.
